Classroom Digs - Room Reveal

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

I'm linking up with the Teacher Week '13 linky party!

Today is all about your Classroom. Here is my room reveal!

This is the view from the door showing the left side of my room.

We are starting to do The 7 Habits at our school. These are from Little Lovely Leaders and they are free!

This is our AR wall. Students decorate little people cutouts and we add their faces. As they earn AR points they move to 50% and 100%. Our school gives HUGE rewards for these 2 percentages. The banner came from Shindigz.

Here is my Rainbow Used for my Rainbow Words Unit. Their names will be on little clouds. As they pass one level of words, they place their name on that color.

Here is my word wall where I place the words as we learn them. (Notice the wifi between the C and D? I removed the big box until we actually get wifi.)

Here is my banner also from Little Lovely Leaders.

Here is my new Writing Station. The pencil is just like this one from The Teacher Wife. (I didn't know you could print it for free! I just tried to make one like it. Should have read first!) I love the writing center unit from A Cupcake From A Teacher. I left the space at the bottom at add Monthly Words from my Monthly Writing Words unit (which I am currently redoing).

Here is my stations board. You can read more about that here.

Here are my literacy signs over each station area (also from my literacy station cards).

The view from the very back of the left side of the room. Yes. My room is MASSIVE!

Here is my new Journey's unit. Unpacked but not organized yet.

My desk. Next year I am going to paint it. It's been this way for 7+ years!

My class jobs. From here.

Here is my WOW work board!

Our brand new computers. Our district updated to Windows 8 and we got BRAND NEW computers!

My class rules display also from here.

My Clipchart from my Vertical Behavior Chart unit also available in Chevron now.

My birthday balloons from Mrs. H.

My student cubbies. LOVE this system!

My star student jar and pick me jar (where I choose students to call on). More to come on that!

A few from the back right side of the room!

I didn't get everything done like I would have liked. School snuck up on me fast!!!! Have a great week!

Throwback Thursday

Thursday, June 27, 2013

I joining Cara Carroll in her Throwback Thursday party! How fun!

I've decided to take you back to one of my most popular posts (thanks to it being listed on School Supply Addict).

Original post August 7, 2012

Well, (sniff, sniff) my summer is over and school begins TOMORROW!!!! I did the final touches on my classroom today and I am ready to reveal! (WARNING: LOTS OF PICTURES)

I LOVE My Banner from Little Lovely Leaders! I realize I should have turn off the flash but it says "We ♥ Kindergarten". (She has one for EVERY grade!)

It was just what I needed to add to my pendant banner I made last year.

Here is the view from the back of the room.

I have these signs hanging above each table. The frames are from IKEA. I made them 3-4 years ago, but I was just there this summer and they still have them!

My Vertical Behavior System clipart! You can purchase it here.

My classroom rules. Free from Deanna Jump! LOVE!

My birthday balloons. These are free from Mrs. Hilderbrand.

I bought these cute containers in the Dollar Spot at Target. Put my Cricut and Vinyl to use. Each child will have a popsicle stick with their name on it in each cup. I will use the "Pick Me" for EVERYTHING. To select students to work on Activboard, read out loud, line up in a different order, etc. The "Star Student" one will be how I select a Star Student at the end of each week.

Students cubbies where they store their daily work and folders until the end of the day.

My classroom Jobs display.

This is beside my Calendar (which is done through Everyday Counts on the ACTIVboard).

I made these cuties for my tornado, fire, and lockdown plans as well as lunch menu. I would TOTALLY share, but it got lost when my USB shorted out! :(

My transportation display from here.

My door. Oooh! I LOVE it!

I bought these years ago. I keep it outside the classroom with my class list.

My AR wall. Students are recognized for reaching 50% and 100% with rewards. This is HUGE at my school.

We use these little guys to place on the magnets and move. We send these home the first week of class and it is their "homework" to decorate it. They are so original! I love them!

Look at the banner I got for above my AR display. I got it on Shindigz.com for $1!!! (Plus $8.95 shipping). It is thick vinyl. Love, Love, Love!

The back of the room. Homeliving center.

My desk. I keep my desk because 1: I sit there during planning and 2: right behind it is my computer that controls everything on my ACTIVboard!

My clean rug! That puppy is like 5-6 years old! Love our janitors!

My read alouds organized so nicely!

Well, that is my room! I am SO lucky to have a HUGE room! :) Very blessed I know!

Ten Pin Linky Party

Friday, June 14, 2013

I have a small addiction. It's called Pinterest. Now...having said that, I pin like CRAZY, but I sometimes forget to go back and look at the original site or even go back and open up my boards. I love pinterest so much that when our state (yep...not school district, but state of KY) blocked Pinterest on all school computers I wrote up a big letter explaining how valuable it is for teachers and how often I use it for educational purposes in the classroom. Guess what??? They unblocked it! Win for me!
I am excited to join Ashley in her Ten Pin Linky Party: Your Favorite Classroom Décor Pins! Got that covered!

This will be great for me to review those things I am wanting to do in my classroom. I just pinned this today after seeing Just Reed’s pins. SO cute and I think I will be doing!!! LOVE!

I also like this tree when doing families. So cute to put picture of kids and their families and make a family tree!!!

I Love this board and taping it off to show objectives. I’m definitely doing something different this year to display my objectives. Maybe something like this.
